A companion sample repository for a Real Python tutorial demonstrating how to containerize a Django application using Docker, Docker Compose, and Docker Machine. It provides a reference setup with Dockerfiles and Compose configuration for local Django development.

Use cases

• dockerize a django app for local development
• learn docker compose with a python web framework
• example dockerfile and docker-compose setup for django
• run django migrations inside docker containers
• follow a tutorial on django development with docker
• bootstrap a containerized django project

When to choose

• you are following the Real Python Django + Docker tutorial and want the exact working code
• you want a minimal, easy-to-read example of Docker Compose with Django
• you are learning container basics with a Python web stack

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade, maintained Django Docker template with modern tooling
• you require a license or active support for commercial use
• you use recent Docker versions without Docker Machine, which is deprecated
